C lean and simple Christmas card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Soft Sky Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Island Indigo Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 3" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2" x 3-1/2" from Soft Sky Cardstock
- 2" square from Island Indigo Cardstock
- 2" x 3-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
Place the largest white rectangle into the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the card stock inside on top of a Cutting Pad on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place another Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the dry embossed white layer to the largest Island Indigo rectangle and then to the front of the Soft Sky card.
Mount the "simple joys" sentiment from the Christmas Pines Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Island Indigo Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white square.
Unlock the 2" Circle Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch. Carefully line up the sentiment so it is centered in the punching area. Punch.
Pick out the three snowflakes thinlits from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits. Place the square of Island Indigo Cardstock and the rectangle of Soft Sky Cardstock on the Precision Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the largest snowflake thinlit on top of the Island Indigo square. Place the other two snowflake thinlits on the Soft Sky rectangle. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the card stock.
Pick out the branch thinlit from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits. Place the strip of Whisper White Cardstock on the Precision Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the branch thinlit on top so the forked ends of the branch are one the cardstock. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the card stock.
Adhere the branch cutout to the back of the sentiment circle so it is sticking out to the upper left.
Adhere the large indigo snowflake to the back of the sentiment circle so it peeks out on the left side and is overlapped by the branch a bit.
Adhere the sentiment circle with branch and large snowflake attached to the bottom right corner of the card front.
Place the larger Soft Sky snowflake cutout upside down on one side of a Silicone Craft Sheet. Cut a Stamping Sponge into quarters and clamp the triangle edge of one quarter in a large binder clip. Squeeze a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on one corner of the Silicone Craft Sheet. Dab the sponge into the glue and then lightly onto the back of the snowflake cutout. Flip the snowflake cutout over and adhere it to the card front so it overlaps the upper left side of the sentiment circle and branch a bit.
Repeat the gluing process with the other Soft Sky snowflake and adhere it to the bottom right side of the sentiment circle so it overlaps a bit.
Add Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the centers of the snowflakes.
